The Rangers sent a strong message to the tanking Buffalo Sabres last night by surrendering three straight goals to the Senators to open the game before losing 4-1. This was not a good look for the Blueshirts, but then again they do have the fewest regulation/OT wins in the league. Not sure what else to expect from the Rangers in the final two games other than they dress 18 skaters and two goalies.
The stats will say the Rangers owned the possession game, but it’s easy to do that when you surrender three goals early and then the Senators go into shell mode.
